*Casa Winnie- A Home Away from Home – A Truly Heartwarming Experience* From the moment we arrived at Casa Winnie , we were embraced with warmth and kindness. In one of the most difficult times for our family, Mrs. Priyani and family went beyond being just a host, she became a source of comfort, support, and genuine care. Her generosity and compassion made us feel at home, as if we were part of her own family. Every little detail, from her thoughtful gestures to the welcoming atmosphere, reflected her incredible heart. It is rare to find a place where hospitality is not just a service but a heartfelt experience. We will always be grateful for the love and care we received here, and we wholeheartedly recommend Casa Winnie to anyone looking for more than just a place to stay. This is a place where kindness lives, and we will forever hold it close to our hearts. With deepest gratitude.

Mary

From

Thailand

Manoji and Manitha are a lovely couple and made me feel so welcomed and cared for in my first 24 hrs in Sri Lanka. They picked me up from the airport and were the perfect welcome to Colombo. the Highbury Colombo is a beautiful architecturally designed house and garden, and feels very secluded despite being in the big city. I had a very peaceful one night stay and a delicious homemade Sri Lankan breakfast in the morning before I left to the south coast. I would highly recommend the Highbury as a beautiful spot to stay in Colombo - I would absolutely go back :) thank you!

From

We had the pleasure of staying at Taprobane House Hotel for 26 days, and it truly felt like a second home. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and care. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel itself is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained — a perfect place to relax and unwind. The rooms are comfortable, the garden is lovely, and the atmosphere is calm and serene. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and we appreciated the genuine hospitality throughout our stay. Special thanks to Rashmi and the entire team for making our time in Sri Lanka so memorable. We left with full hearts and hope to return one day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tranquil and authentic experience.
